| lobbesbot: | phf: Sent 17 hours and 5 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> didja ever try asking dks for PAL src's ? | [06:34] |
| phf: | asciilifeform: i'm pretty sure he doesn't have PAL sources in digital form, and if he does, i think it's purely accidental i.e. there are source files on some tape or some drive, but i don't think he'll be able to find them from memory | [06:41] |
| phf: | there are 3600 era PAL sources in a form of scans, there might be some overlap between those and ivory. i doubt that's the case, but it's worth investigating | [06:53] |

| mircea_popescu: | the exact same thing applies universally and throiughout. the world works a certain way, and it will continue to do so. if you build a blog on the strength of being interesting, you will destroy it with crap and if you build a reputation on being sane, you will destroy it with insanity. and so on. at no point is your "conviction" at issue (nor is it interesting, nor important). what's at issue is ~reality~, and reality does | [09:51] |

| a111: | Logged on 2018-12-01 22:13 danielpbarron: that wouldn't be the worst thing | [09:52] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc mircea_popescu had a piece re macroscale version of cellular apoptosis. | [09:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | and, while at it : the aferations of "metaphysics", specifically regarding the matter in terms of "oh, mp is so lost in the world he can't see the things beyond the world" is so much infantile aferant bullshit. be it "robo-hitlers" or "gods" or whatever other nonsense, the important property of things "beyond" the world and "above" the world and "after" the world and "ultimate" and so on is that they are not. | [09:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's nothing BEYOND the world. the things claimed to be so are always and without exception ~inferior~ not superior in the tree of things. one's fantasies of self-realisation, be they wet dreams about little miss rottencrotch two chairs down in chem class or "the rapture", are just so much teenage wank. it dun matter if the teenager's name is moses or daniel, their wank is not "above the world". it's part of the world, and | [09:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | a minor and neglectable part at that. | [09:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | obviously the (male) teenager's temptation is to imagine his stupid shit is "above". but this is his problem, not his "intuition" or "wisdom" or w/e the fuck. | [09:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | god is ~just another trope~. like "the voyage", like "the teenage witch", like "vampires" or "magic horses" or "the island of buyan", god is just another trope. tropes are common places of fiction. fiction is a product of imagination. imagination is mildly-restrained psychogenic noise, which is a class of noise, like wetware thought or like fg output. which are phenomena, which is one half of the world (the other half being o | [09:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | bjects). | [09:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | that's 1 trope, 2 fiction, 3 imagination, 4 noise, 5 phenomena. FIVE nodes down from the top node of all things, "the world". | [09:58] |
| asciilifeform: | the logical result of trying to physically move into a fictional palace is terry davis's train ride. | [10:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | and it so happens that god wank scores right there with "commercial communication" aka spam (another trope of fiction) on the scale of republican appreciation of fiction. | [10:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | at least write fucking poems. | [10:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | (and yes, /me also tuned out just about when the quotes started. for one thing because i couldn't give less of a shit about the english version of jewish texts, i can read the originals and i can't stand anglotardation) | [10:01] |
| asciilifeform: | newton somehow pulled off the sitting on two chairs biz, but most folx aint newton | [10:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | and let it be said, translating the torah ~in english~ was a fucking stupid idea. english is not a language that can ~carry~ such things. | [10:02] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: you should see the jp bible some time. | [10:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | all the pretense of imperial brits aside, trying to build themselves an alt-english out of hammer-whacked chunks of latin and greek. because guess what, nobody today speaks 1770-level cultivated english. and certainly nobody among the self-help ikea-brand of "preachers" in the intellectually arid center of our colonies in the new world. | [10:03] |
| asciilifeform: | ( the jesuits baked. and it's a riot. when jp was pried open in 19th c, the euros found some 'christians', promptly barfed -- the cleanup job shogunate did wasn't quite 100%.) | [10:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform no, i have, it's the kek of all time. | [10:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | sorta like that great cartoon you found, with "ww2" | [10:04] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform moreover it makes a fucking difference WHO speaks english. which is a readily lost point. there's an episode in seinfeld (when george converts to "latvian" orthodoxy) including a soundbyte from old jewish woman with strong yidish accent, "when you die, you die. you don't go anywhere." | [10:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | THAT half liner summarizes ~correctly~ the whole fucking nine paragraph thing i ended up stuck putting in above. | [10:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | and it ~is~ in english. but it is not the english of Jamie McMoron, slightly overweight ex-mechanic turned "pastor" in Michigan. | [10:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | because that's the fucking problem with english, it can not ~carry~. human languages have this property, that they retain in their own thick fibers, particles of the wisdom of speakers, to bestow them on the dumb neat round heads of repeaters. | [10:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | english is ~thin~. it retain nothing. moron can say same words and gain ~nothing~ thereby. | [10:07] |
| asciilifeform: | ... and particles of stupid | [10:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | certainly. which is why selection is important and meaningful. in latin. not so in english. | [10:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | which is why i say, makes 0 fucking sense to have translated the torah. | [10:07] |
| asciilifeform: | some benighted folx think this only applies to prog langs -- mno. | [10:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | this goes directly to my problem with chinese -- english is pretty much the closest thing to chinese known to white man. | [10:08] |
| asciilifeform: | the twist is that actual chinese may or may not have this property. | [10:08] |

| mircea_popescu: | consider the illustrative example of how the germans inhabiting north america ended up thinking they're "english" : the english were losing badly their war with the dutch, at the time the republic. so they decided -- the elite, that is -- to make the dutch an offer they couldn't refuse : behead the (catholic) king, import william, prince of orange-nassau as the new english king. thereby england gets a ruling class and the dut | [10:09] |

| mircea_popescu: | the dutch bought, moved over, started "new england". gave the same "english" crown their new world possessions. | [10:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | when a decade later the american germans revolted against europe they called it "england" for no fucking reason whatsoever. | [10:10] |

| mircea_popescu: | and ~now~they go about like fucking morons, re-doing the 16th century german peasant movements. | [10:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | because totally, history never happened, started over because "new" world. | [10:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | to write about divinity interestingly, one needs to be aware of a ~shitload~ more stuff than is available at oklahoma public library, is the thing. | [10:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | how the fuck am i going to be interested by a three-centuries-later, three-hundred-books-unread rehash of a ~minor~ ~peasant~ movement ?! what next, we're going to sit around wondering in fascination at pete_d's accomplishments ? hory shit, some guy got married and carefully didn't piss off the in-laws his whole life. NEVER HEAR THAT STORY BEFORE PLOX TELL ME MORE! | [10:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's like watching reality tv by & for retards, "oh, look, it's another morning, will john the retard manage to tie his shoes his time ? we will be back after a word from our sponsor, Watch Paint Dry While Flies Fuck (tm)" | [10:16] |

| mircea_popescu: | you should look at their paratheological disputes sometime. | [10:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | 18th century "rationalist" paintings were very keen on the cadaver synod, but this is the pongo papacy. | [10:19] |
| asciilifeform: | also observe how they dun do crusades, jihads, on washington, instead they tithe to buy mcmansion for self-proclaimed mcmoron popes in nebraska etc | [10:20] |

| asciilifeform: | large lulz collection in my journals from mallery, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1772126 | [20:44] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-01-17 21:42 asciilifeform: 'John Mallery @jcmallery_cyber 25 Dec 2017 Declinism is a psyop of adversaries...it was spread before during the Vietnam war.' << ahahahaha gold | [20:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, they can talk till they drop. the republic owns the internet like it owns everything else that exists, and the entire space of the ~possibility~ of expression. | [20:44] |
| asciilifeform: | enforcing 'i own the house' on the cockroaches in the kitchen, still takes work | [20:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, in passing, here's the lulziest "vulnerability" of the whole edifice : for some reason ustards decided that "inconsequentialism" is the golden key to victory, and therefore a) divorcing their thought process from any contemplation of the consequence of their actions and b) inducing everyone else to preoccupy themselves with "consequences" is the path to victory. | [20:47] |
| asciilifeform: | 'strategy' inherited from brit empire. | [20:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | as a ~result~ of this idocy, the pellet of lost dollars in iraq, and the incapacity to produce a budget, and all the http://qntra.net/2018/12/fbi-entraps-young-woman-into-terrorism-charges-by-becoming-her-entire-social-circle/ wank and so on. | [20:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | how exactly they imagine the dumb & deaf can win anything is anyone's guess, but there they go. | [20:47] |
| asciilifeform: | their Official ideology, near as i can tell, is 'budgets are for the lesser mortals who can't print green' | [20:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | right ? all converges to the same idiocy, namely "mp doesn't seem to need to be concerned with consequences and so the path to be him is, you know, douchebaggin' it" | [20:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | this works as well as you expect, but w/e. | [20:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | i suppose it's a rake particularly fit for the exact shape of their face, because the principal mental issue of anglotards is their overwhelming anxiety. | [20:49] |
| asciilifeform: | the algo dun eggog until brezhn^H^H^Hobummer orders a pallet of abrams armor and it dun show up. | [20:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | still, the ~reason~ anyone even maintains a general staff, as opposed to "shoulda killed them all, like stalin", is precisely that left to their own devices, tacticians find the rakes shaped like their face. | [20:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform best i can tell a) this happened under nigglet's reign and b) whole "great again" algo consists of "find me those orders we can still execute, and limit ordering to that". | [20:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | which... sure. | [20:50] |
| asciilifeform: | while that set is close enuff to the min reqd to keep 'biz as usual' humming, on it goes | [20:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | well... smartphones are cheap, and fast food ever shittier. | [20:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | but hey. soviets didn't give up in 1981. | [20:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | entire pantsuit rage @trump can be readily decoded in terms of "how dare you consider consequences". | [20:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | and to go back to the "thin english" thread : somehow it never occured to them the ~proper name~ for their ideology is "inconsequentialism". because english doesn't force such, which is why and how it's entirely inadherent to humour (in the odessa sense of term). | [20:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | if it had, they might've noticed what the ~necessary correlate~ is. how's one to be inconsequential and important ? | [20:54] |
| asciilifeform: | 'it worx until you try to use it' | [20:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | there, took me five minutes typing and half a second's thought to demolish the intellectual produce of centcom since 2001. | [20:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | such leverage. | [20:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | "cyber threats" right. not this. something else. | [20:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | what the fuck else is there ? | [20:56] |
| asciilifeform: | 'cyber threats' is, a la prb, smoke grenade to obscure the actual ur-'cyberthreat' to reich, i.e. comp stack sans usg | [20:58] |
| asciilifeform: | the 'thinking' goes, 'if we derp from podium 24/7/365 re how 'security' means microshit-cum-latest-servicepack, erryone will believe' , or somesuch | [21:00] |
